Greek cinema draws on myth, politics, and allegory, often using surrealism and symbolism to explore identity and collective memory. The Weird Wave brought absurdism and dark humor to the fore. Recent Greek films often depict austerity, personal struggle, and resilience with raw emotional power and stark visual storytelling, reflecting contemporary Greek life.
